Systems are provided for a fairlead, and in particular to fairlead including an integrated lighting system. In one example, a fairlead may comprise a frame, the frame including a central, first opening and a second opening disposed above the first opening. The second opening may house an integrated lighting system, the integrated lighting system including a plurality of lights.

A fairlead includes a chain guide support structure and a clump weight engagement member. A clump weight assembly includes a clump weight body, a clump weight coupled to the clump weight body, and a spring housing. The spring housing includes an upper housing wall and at least one spring operatively coupled between the upper housing wall and the clump weight. The clump weight body may be selectively engageable and disengageable with the fairlead to form a fairlead and clump weight assembly. A method of installing and using the clump weight includes engaging the spring housing with the clump weight engagement member, and latching the clump weight body to the clump weight engagement member.

A winch rigging link has a body defining a cable retainer and a soft shackle retainer at opposite ends. The body has a length, a width less than the length, and a depth less than the width. Furthermore, the body defines opposing faces bounded by the length and width and spaced apart by the depth. The soft shackle retainer comprises a channel running widthwise across the soft shackle retainer an in between the faces. The channel defines a bearing surface having curvature in a lengthwise and widthwise plane. The cable retainer may be permanently attached to a winch cable and the soft shackle retainer attached to a soft shackle or the like when required for winch rigging. The configuration of the link maximises the bend radius of the soft shackle or the like retained by the soft shackle retainer, despite the relatively narrow profile of the body thereof.

Proposed is a detachable mooring system for an offshore structure, including a first tension adjuster connected to an offshore structure, and blocking a pulling chain from proceeding from an outlet of a body toward an inlet, a second tension adjuster connected to one end of the pulling chain and blocking the pulling chain from proceeding from an outlet of a body toward an inlet, a mooring chain having a first longitudinal end connected to one surface of the second tension adjuster body and having a second longitudinal end connected to an anchor on the seabed, a first lead rope having one longitudinal end connected to one end of the pulling chain discharged out through the first tension adjuster outlet, and a second lead rope having one longitudinal end connected to the second tension adjuster body.

Devices, methods, and systems for a fairlead changing direction of a line under tensions are disclosed. The fairlead may include an opening with a front lip. The line under tension may be roved through the opening. The front lip may have a variable radius round. The front lip guides a change in direction of the line.

A removable marine cover for protecting marine support structures such as bullnoses in addition to nautical lines from abrasive contact has a polymeric cover body including an outward surface attached to a material with a gripping portion is provided. The marine cover has a set of ratchet straps arranged around the periphery to securely attach the cover to the marine support structure. The inward surface may include a wear pad, and may further include a polyurethane coating to reduce the coefficient of friction experienced by the nautical lines while also protecting the support structure from degradation, which ultimately prevents damage to both the support structure and the nautical lines.

The present invention relates to systems for securing connectors of risers in petroleum production units. In this scenario, the present invention provides an autonomous system for securing a riser support, said system comprising (i) a riser support (32) connected at its bottom end to a submerged riser (34) and at its upper end to a tensioning element (30), (ii) a supporting ledge (20) comprising a through-hole (22) through which the tensioning element (30) and at least part of the riser support (32) pass, (iii) a securing device (40) located on the supporting ledge (20), said securing device (40) sliding relative to the supporting ledge (20) and driven by an actuator (48), wherein the securing device (40) slides between an unlocked position and a locked position on the through-hole (22), wherein, in the locked position, the securing device (40) can engage with locking in a connector (38) of the riser support (32) after the connector (38) has passed through the through-hole (22) of the supporting ledge (20). The present invention further provides an autonomous method for securing a riser support associated with the system described above.
